And bring their tails behind them.

Little Bo-peep fell fast asleep,
And dreamed she heard them bleating;
But when she awoke she found it a joke,
For they were still a-fleeting.

Then up she took her little crook,
Determined for to find them;
She found them, indeed, but it made her heart bleed,
For they'd left their tails behind them.




LITTLE BO-PEEP


Alice is seven years old to-day.

She is going to have a birthday party.

Alice's aunt wrote the invitations, and Alice gave them to all her
little school friends.

The invitation said:--

"Little Bo-peep is to have a birthday party. She would like to have you
come and help her take care of her sheep. Please come Friday afternoon
after school."
